Could be that your computer can't keep up with the modem/UART?  A 33.6k
modem should handle a com speed of 115200 ok but if the processor, bus,
hard drive, etc can't keep up you will still get overruns, you could try
using a good DOS comms program to try running it without the overheads
of windows just to see if this works!
